Hey, gang, I just re-started MRC 2 weeks ago. I lost 40 pounds on MRC last year but stopped before I finished stabilization...I'm not sure why. If I'm honest, I'd have to say, I quit because I got tired of messing with dieting...lame excuse but it's probably true. Plus I was so close to my goal and I was feeling so good, I just bailed.
Truth be told, I have never felt so good in my whole life as when I was doing this diet...so here I am again. Since last year I plumped back up a bit (imagine that) and so now I'm back to knock out the last 20 pounds...15 of which I put on in the last 8 months.
But this program is so great, I'm back!!!! I'm still in the first couple weeks and yes, Durosa, it is a little tough getting back oriented to the eating plan. But I'm back because I know this system WORKS!! And once you get deeper into it, you won't believe how habitual and simple it is.
So, keep up the great work, stick it out and you will be super proud of yourself. You are worth all this effort. Soon, you will just LOVE what you see in the mirror.
BTW: I have a really bad thyroid problem too and it is no picnic, so I feel your pain! But you can DO THIS!!
